Credit to Featherstone, much the better side and deserved the points. Kick in the balls to lose the BP at the death but that's life.

Didn't think we played particularly badly. It was a great advert for Champs RL. We missed Walker and Stringer badly.

Not over yet, unlikely Hunslet will get anything vs Fev but you never know. All we can do is beat Doncaster and get some confidence back going into the playoffs.

Still the big one to go for yet!

I couldn't say it much better

Onwards and upwards, just one of them things Fev were the better side simples

Bummer about the last minute try but the best team won on the night. The (very) high kicks from Fev caused all sorts of mayhem when it was dark. No one was entirely sure where and when the ball would come out of orbit and how much snow it would have on it.

The Fat Lady is still singing but, unless Hunslet pull something out of the bag on Sunday, it's all over for the League title so roll on the playoffs.

Still been a great season for us whatever happens from here, so thanks to everyone at the club.

For all the records we've broken this year it'd be a massive disappointment to end up empty handed.

Interesting one with Roche. I tend to agree. Not saying he didn't put 100% in but it must be at the back of his mind he'll be playing for the opposition next season.

I thought Colton put plenty of effort in. He's only 19 - very young for a prop.

Brilliant ! Blame the floodlights !

We missed Mitch and Jack, Patch coming off left Dom a lot of work to do and there were other less serious disruptions too.

Despite all that, we very nearly crept over the line.

Not necessarily the floodlights, more likely my eyesight . Kept losing sight of the ball.

Thanks for the congrats - But as we have seen at Fev this year it's not over yet, we have put in some awful performances against York, Doncaster and Swinton.

Was good to see a fair number make the trip over for the game especially on a Wednesday night.

Good luck in the play-offs, unless you play us in the final which is the only time we can meet I believe given the stupid play-off system (have to say I agree with Griff) a top 4 play-off of 1v4, 2v3 and final for the winners would have made a lot of sense).

We've already had a long season. Why pad it out with games that are - generally - poorly supported ?
